Just a butterfly tangled in the leavesOutside my bedroom window paneA storm is approachingMy gentle hands clutch onto this fluffy teddy bearlike a second lifeAnd clouds paint my face another shade of grayWhen I blink away the light in my eyesWould it change your mind?To feel as sad as meWatching that poor butterfly succumb to shadowand streamThe shell of my deepest complacency holds me backI am a ballerina in most of these dreamsBut I never learned to dance...So I write

From the heart beat beneath this feminine soulSome may wish to correct me, or leave me on my ownIt's alright, because I'll take any type of loveThat can bring a smile to this sentimental gazeSo close my eyes tight pretty please, something tells meThings are bound to change.

Just a rainbow kite caught along the breezeBlossoming blue skies stretched outAs far as my tired eyes could seeMy sleepy head senses this memory was nevertruly minePessimistic pieces of childhood simplicitiesLost to the downward spiral of timeBut if it's alrightCould you paint a picture with me?I promise not to color outside of the linesSociety has deemedA misuse of creative freedom, whatever that meansI'm just going to paint the best that I canAnd avoid getting my baby dress messy...While we're outside

Where crisp flower beds continue to growSome holding promises of happiness, I hopeDressed in white, I'll take any type of loveThat can bring a smile to this sentimental gazeSo close my eyes tight pretty please, something tells meThings are bound to change.
